Chapter One

I waved to the man who was guarding the door to the grand ballroom to open the door. Usually the guards would ignore me but wearing a mask to a masquerade and wearing an expensive dress you borrowed from someone who does not even know you took it yet is the ticket to getting in to the expensive parties here in the palace. My golden curls were pinned up in ruby and silver pins that matched my blood red and silver dress with diamonds on the collar and hems. Wow I really don't want to know how much this dress actually was. Then, the door groaning as it opened drew my attention once more. Music playing from the lyres and flute, trumpets and violins floated through the air as couples dressed in disguises wearing expensive masks danced in intricate patterns on the white and gold tile along the ballroom floor. I smelled the air, and there it was His scent. Hurriedly, I traveled over to the thrones positioned on the dais above the dance floor. His scent growing stronger with every step. Finally, almost out of breathe from being pulled by some person in an old man costume into one of the dances I appeared in front of my Vampire sovereigns thrones.

"What is it you require?" Queen Delia asked, leaning forward with a look of concern across her face. "My queen, it's me." I said simply, pulling off my mask to reveal yours truly! My queen stared at me, her eyes looking like she was trying to read my thoughts. "What news have you brought to interrupt a royal masquerade in honor of the marriage between my brother the duke of Kensworth and Lady Patricia? It had better be good young maid." By this time, the entire population in the ballroom had stopped moving, and the Duke of Kensworth had started to move his way toward us. I am sure he could already smell the evidence.

"My queen," I said with a curtsey," I am afraid I am the bearer of bad news." I looked up under my eyelashes at her to see if she would let me continue. "Speak maid Elaine" the king stated, a furrow to his brow. With that I looked up at my king and queen, and looked them in the eyes, "For many months I have watched The duke of Kensworth, you brother my queen, do many despicable things. So this day, I have investigated his private suites, searching for the reason to these acts…" The Duke stepped forward out of the crowd "How outrageous!" He cried, I almost laughed his face was the color of a plum but the matter at hand was so much more important. "Will you really tolerate a mere maid investigating my private apartments! And this maid is not even a true vampire! I shall never be able to step in there again because of the stink!" At that little remark, that little mark he thought was funny I simply exploded, it was probably because I had had no chocolate that day. " How dare you accuse me of a foul stench you portable sewer you gorge so much on human flesh and blood you resemble one yourself! But it's not just your stomach that has been wronged and betrayed! You planned to betray your King and Queen! Your brother and sister! Here look! These needles are filled with poison! If the humans the king and queen selected had been poisoned with these needles our great rulers would have died!" By this time I was gasping for breathe now. I really had to learn how to breathe! "Is this true?" The king asked of his brother.

"Its all lies!" The duke cried. "She planted that evidence herself! I am being framed! Come believe me!" But the crowd said nothing, the queen silently placed her hand on her husbands arm. "Come, give us the needles and let us see if they truly are from the dukes rooms." The king held out his hand to me. "Alright," I said slowly, I was not scared, I knew I would be proved true, but I had this nagging feeling something unexpected was about to happen. "Here" I handed the needles to my sovereign but in between the exchange the duke snatched away the needles and jammed the into my arm. I felt the pain as the liquids entered me, the burning the pain… Then everything turned black….
